When do Lovable credits reset?
This question gets asked because two different things are easy to confuse: a credit allowance tied to a license period, and daily counters such as device switches that genuinely roll over every day.
Here is how each one behaves, so you know whether waiting will help you or not.
Allowance versus daily counters
| What | When it changes | Does waiting help? |
|---|---|---|
| Credit allowance | When you buy or renew | No — waiting does not add credits |
| Daily device switches | Rolls over each day | Yes — a blocked switch clears |
| License period | Ends on your expiry date | No — renewal is what extends it |
If your credits are simply gone
There is no overnight refill waiting for you. Credits are an allowance you bought, so the honest answer is that you either top up or pause the project.
The useful move while you wait is planning: write out the remaining steps precisely, so the first thing you do after topping up is productive rather than exploratory.
If a device switch is blocked
- 1Go back to the machine you were last active on and keep working there, if you can.
- 2If you cannot, wait for the daily counter to roll over.
- 3If you regularly need more machines, ask us to issue a key with a higher device limit.
Planning around the timing
- Do machine changes at the start of a working day rather than mid-session.
- Keep a small credit margin so an expiry or an empty balance never lands mid-task.
- Note your expiry date somewhere you will see it, and renew a day or two early.
- Check the key on the My License page whenever you are unsure which of these applies.
Frequently asked questions
Do my credits come back every day?
No. Your credit allowance is what you bought; only daily counters such as device switches roll over.
Does the daily switch counter reset at midnight my time?
It rolls over on the panel's own daily cycle rather than your local clock, so treat it as "the next day" rather than an exact hour.
What happens to unused credits when I renew?
Check your key on the My License page and ask us before renewing if you have a large unused balance, so we can advise on the best timing.
Can I get a higher daily switch allowance?
Yes, keys can be issued with different device and switch settings. Tell us what you need.

Need credits now rather than later
Top-ups are issued as soon as your payment is approved, so a stalled project does not have to wait for a reset that is not coming.
